Beginner needs help.

Hello all. I've installed centOS on my home server hoping to create a dedicated website for my home. I followed the easy and beginner friendly guide created by Falko, The Perfect Server - CentOS 6.2 x86_64 With nginx [ISPConfig 3]. Installation was simple. It is running fresh on my comp under a domain name purchased and configured to forward to the external ip address of my server.

I am just having issues finding how to edit the html files without using a command prompt to manually type my index.html page. How do I use ispconfig to edit these settings. keep in mind I am semi-new.

Hello. I wasn't sure if I should create a new thread or not as I have another question but unrelated to the first post. Anyways, I decided to just reply...

I decided to start fresh with a new install of everything (following falko's guide again) as I had messed around a lot with my last install just testing things and experimenting. Long story short, I figured a reinstall would be quicker than going though and resetting/deleting everything I shouldn't have installed or changed.

So once again, perfect install. no problems there. I have a fresh install, I did everything I had learned from the last one but I'm just missing something. When I go to my website lets say example.com, I get the blue "Welcome to nginx on EPEL!" page rather than the green page I think I should have gotten. So when I uploaded my website, it only displays the nginx page.

I know I'm just missing some minor step but Ive been searching for hours and nothing has come up, nor can i remember what I did before... :/

Doesn't seem to have worked. I added the ip address 192.168.0.111 (I use 192.168.0.110 as my machines local ip)and changed my website IPv4-Address to 192.168.0.111. Then I went into my system and added eth0:0 (as instructed by Falkos ISPconfig manual) configuring it as the guide instructed me. (My eth0 had several more options than the example did).

Not sure if I did that right, nothing changed when I visit my site. Additionally, when I type ifconfig it displays "interrupt: 23" after eth0 and eth0:0. I do not thing this came up before adding eth0:0 but I'm not sure.

Adding that to each of my own computers will only keep the site visible to my own computers, on my own network. It needs to be public.

I have my purchased domain forwarding to my centOS external IP. I believe it is just sending back information from the IP 192.168.0.110 (the IP used for the initial setup of the system.) I want it to display the setup from 192.168.0.111.

I'm starting to think I need to configure something with my domain provider. My network is doing just what it needs to but I need incoming viewers to be directed to 192.168.0.111 when they connect to my server through a specific domain. This way I can host several websites through one box.
